LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 11

Former subsection (b) of this section defined
"[a]nnual consultation tour" for purposes of this
article. However, the defined term appeared only
once, in former § 2-103(e-l) of this article. Also,
former subsection (b) of this section contained
substantive provisions. Therefore, former subsection
(b) of this section and § 2-103(e-l) of this article
are revised together, in § 2-103.1(e) of this article.

Similarly, subsections (d), (h), and (n) of this
section, which formerly defined, respectively,
"Consolidated Transportation Program", "Maryland
Transportation Plan", and "State Report on
Transportation", by reference to documents "described
in § 2-103", contained substantive requirements.
However, additional substantive requirements also
appeared in former § 2-103.1 of this article and in
former Art. 15A, § 9A(c).

Chapter ____, Acts of 1985, revised all of the

substantive provisions as to the State Report on
Transportation and its components in § 2-103.1 of this
article. Therefore, in subsections (d), (h), and (n)
of this section, the cross-reference to "§ 2-103.1" is
substituted for the former cross-reference to "§
2-103", and the substantive requirements are deleted.

In subsections (d) and (h) of this section, the former
references to preparation of the Program and Plan "by
the Department" are deleted as inconsistent with the
substantive provision of § 2-103(e)(2) that imposes
this duty on the Secretary.

2-103.

[his] THE office OF THE SECRETARY and for the budget of each unit
